Yeh, they go and get proper jobs like the rest of us!

For catering Marjorie Williamson at Herrislea House Tingwall, you cant go wrong.

After boarding the ship, speak to the person on the desk that you have concearns for you animals and they will make arrangements for you to go down several times during the journey accompanied by a member of staff.

Come on, the gale has only been going for a few hours, it's just the surface that's a bit choppy. A proper swell takes a good full day or so to get going. It's a joke the boat is not going tonight, of course having cancelled Friday they are trying to get the Hrossay and Hjaltland in the correct ports. I love the fact that they say in the interests of public safety and comfort they have cancelled tonight. Safety ok, but comfort should have nothing to do with it. Provide a lifeline service and let the people decide if they want a slightly choppy ride. I'm glad the final decisions are not left to you, you could be answerable and accountable for a lot injuries or even deaths. Also think of the others that would have to risk their lives in the event of a rescue, get some common sence man!

Then thats probably why you dont get very far! I've found Tony Dobson and the stand in from the south end very helpfull in the past, o.k., I have had to put my point strongly once or twice, but generally if you are entitled to it, you will get it. treat them like himans and not like something thats walked in on some ones shoe, you should be fine. The standard of the work (generally) is far superior to what you get from other councils too, with better materials. Remember they are 'civil' servants, not just servants.

Shetland milk is yuk!! Nutty, mouldy tasting over priced, just because its got Shetland' in the title dont make it special. I'l bet if it was'nt on the shelves it wouild'nt be missed. Wisemans 'The one' for years.

You might try Ian Reid Transport as well, they do courier services too.

Seems that you get all the same channels as when you stop subscribing to sky, you wont get Men & Motors, Discovery channels, Euro-sport etc, but soon you will get channel 5 and a few others that will be released from the clutches of BskyB. I hear that Moto GP is going from Euro sport next year to BBC? Here is a forum that might be usefull to some: http://forums.digitalworldz.co.uk

So you will have seen the some times 5, 6 or more skips in a single shift that do probably hold a ton each, of Cod, Ling, and all the rest get dumped, but do I take it because people work there its different to trawlers dumping at sea? Sorry, nothing justifies that scale of waste any-where, for any reason. You cant condone it at sea then turn a blind eye if and when it suits you.

Its by-catch, dragged up in the nets and straight into the holds, then pumped ashore, incase you dont know how it works. You are obviously not aware of what goes on under the noses of Shetlanders, those who have worked there know what I'm talking about. There is no difference in dumping fish at sea and dumping prime fish at a fishmeal factory, its all a terrible waste of resorces.

Who mentioned 'black fish? At least black fish finds a market, illegally landed or not, and its not wasted! Usual Shetland thinking, must not 'dis' the locals, but fact is fact whether you like the facts or not , tons of fish just dumped in the hunt for ONE species! If people really knew what was just dumped they would be appalled and shocked, just as they are with these other messages on here, only difference this happens IN A SHETLAND FACTORY!! Sorry if its not what you want to see, mod, but if you want to run a forum just to suit you, well thats fine, I wont bother with it. FACE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mod edit]One must question your comprehension of what black fish really is?! Content removed.[/mod edit] Tons! And thats just at one factory! Absolutely scandelous, and the fishermen expect us to feel sorry for them, live for today, sod tomorrow seems to be their motto. Do they really expect their children and grandchildren to have fish in the sea if they carry on like this? I dont feel sorry about the diminishing fleets at all, the more out the better, they are not capable of self responcibility.
